Head of Euroradio Christian Vogg with the Iranian delegation
A delegation from the Radio Division of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) visited the EBU on Friday (17 April) to discuss closer ties. The IRIB is an associate Member of the EBU.
The delegation, headed by Chief Director of Radio and Vice President of IRIB Mohammad Hossein Soufi discussed collaboration with the EBU on a number of levels.
These included sharing more content through Euroradio's Music Exchange, particularly in the field of classical, folk and even pop music; and sharing sports coverage through the EBU's Radio Sport Exchange.
IRIB was also invited to the EBU's Radio Sports Plenary Meeting later this year.
"Iran is opening up again," said the EBU's Head of Radio Christian Vogg. "This visit was designed to re-establish our connections with IRIB so we can build a strong working relationship in the future."
Discussions were also held on sharing knowledge about new digital workflows and the future of hybrid and digital radio.
The Iranian delegation also expressed interest in learning more about training programmes offered by the EBU.
